DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXAMPLES

Technical solutions in the examples of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely hereinafter with reference to the accompanied drawings in the examples of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described examples are merely some rather than all examples of the present disclosure. All other examples obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the examples of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure discloses a method for generating a machine learning model, a method for executing a machine learning model, a method for using a machine learning model, a device, and a storage medium, so as to directly read a corresponding general model in a general-purpose machine learning model file according to operation needs in a process of machine learning operation. Therefore, repeated compilations can be avoided, which may greatly improve the efficiency of the implementation of a machine learning algorithm and shorten time spent in a process from compiling to obtaining execution results.

The method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model provided in the present disclosure can be applied to an application environment as shown in FIG. 1. The application environment shown in FIG. 1 is a machine learning development platform, which includes a framework layer 1101, a compilation layer 1102, an aggregation layer 1103, a driver layer 1104, and a hardware layer 1105.

In an example, the framework layer 1101 is configured to provide algorithm design conditions of a machine learning task, and provide convenient training and prediction tools to facilitate users for building their own neural network structures. It can be understood that the framework layer 101 is configured to:

receive user-designed machine learning algorithms (such as neural network structures);

parse out parameters of each sub-task and send the parameters of each sub-task to the compilation layer to generate machine instructions and related necessary elements; and

send the machine instructions and the related necessary elements to a runtime layer for computation and finally complete a machine learning task required by users.

In an example, the compilation layer 1102 is configured to generate machine instructions in a machine learning task. Specifically, the compilation layer includes a compiler, a high-performance programming library specially optimized for high-frequency operators, and other modules, devices, and databases capable of generating machine instructions. It can be understood that the compilation layer 1102 is configured to receive parameters of the machine learning task sent by the upper framework layer 1101, generate binary machine instructions of hardware by compiling, and send the binary machine instructions of hardware to the lower runtime layer for storing or computing.

In an example, the aggregation layer 1103 is configured to further encapsulate driver programs, and can ignore differences between different underlying hardware and drivers to provide a unified program interface to the upper compilation layer 1102 or users. Specifically, the aggregation layer 1103 can encapsulate upper layer software without considering details of the hardware and the drivers. Furthermore, the aggregation layer 1103 is configured to provide a program interface for basic operations of a machine learning task, store and load a machine learning model and necessary elements such as machine instructions required for execution of the machine learning model on hardware. In this case, upper layer software and users only need to focus on the machine learning task rather than consider differences in specific hardware. Optionally, the program interfaces for the basic operations of the machine learning task provided by the aggregation layer may include a program interface for memory space allocation, data copy, computation starting, and other basic operations of the machine learning task.

In an example, the driver layer 1104 is configured to package and encapsulate basic operations of a device of the hardware layer 1105, and provide a callable program interface for the upper aggregation layer 1103. Specifically, the basic operations of the driver layer 1104 include controlling input and output of data streams, sending control signals to hardware, receiving and processing abnormal signals generated by the hardware, managing and scheduling multiple tasks, and the like.

In an example, the hardware layer 1105 includes all hardware facilities in the machine learning development platform. Optionally, the hardware layer 1105 includes a primary processor, a coprocessor, a memory, an input/output device, a power supply module, and connecting equipment of the above facilities. It can be understood that the hardware layer 1105 is not limited to the above facilities.

In an example, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a method and a device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model are provided. In an example, a step S1201 includes obtaining task parameters of a machine learning task. In an example, the task parameters of the machine learning task are obtained through an external interface module 131000. Specifically, the task parameters refer to parameters required to generate a general-purpose machine learning model, and include parameters other than input data and output data. Specifically, the task parameters are obtained from an external program's input, or from a user's input. It can be understood that when the task parameters are obtained from the user's input, the task parameters are obtained after the format of the user's input data is converted. In an example, a step S1202 includes classifying the task parameters to obtain task instructions and model parameters. In an example, the model parameters are obtained by a model parameter generation module 132100, and the task instructions are obtained by a task instruction generation module 132200. Specifically, the task instructions refer to compiled task parameters, and the model parameters refer to processing results of other processing of the task parameters required during operation of a machine learning algorithm.

In an example, a step S1203 includes aggregating the task instructions and the model parameters according to data types to obtain stack data and heap data. In an example, unshareable data is aggregated by a stack data aggregator 133100, and shareable data is aggregated by a heap data aggregator 133200. It can be understood that unshareable data refers to data that is not shared among cores in a multi-core platform; and shareable data refers to data shared among cores in a multi-core platform. Specifically, aggregating refers to packing and arranging task instructions and model parameters.

In an example, a step S1204 includes integrating the stack data and the heap data to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model. Specifically, the general-purpose machine learning model has good universality.

Specifically, the general-purpose machine learning model is compatible with different upper layer frameworks such as the upper framework layer 1101, the upper compilation layer 1102, and the upper aggregation layer 1103; and is also compatible with different lower driver layers and lower layer hardware. Further, after a general-purpose machine learning model is formed, data blocks can be adjusted according to different counts of computing cores, addresses of input data, addresses of output data, and other general-purpose machine learning models to adapt to different situations.

Specifically, steps of generating a general-purpose machine learning model are not limited to the above steps, and are not limited to the execution order of the above steps. Any modification based on the concept of the present disclosure shall be regarded as the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In an example, referring to FIG. 3, the task parameters include algorithm control parameters and computation parameters; and

the step of classifying the task parameters to obtain task instructions and model parameters includes: compiling the algorithm control parameters to obtain task instructions. In an example, the algorithm control parameters are compiled by the task instruction generation module 132200.

Specifically, the algorithm control parameters include an operation structure of an algorithm. Specifically, compilation refers to a process of converting a high-level language into a machine language. It can be understood that compilation refers to a process of generating a target program. Specifically, the task instructions include instructions directly recognized and executed by a computer. It can be understood that the task instructions adopt a binary encoding format. In an example, the step of aggregating the task instructions and the model parameters according to data types to obtain stack data and heap data includes: classifying the task instructions to obtain task instruction stack data. In an example, the task instruction stack data refers to task instruction data generated by the task instruction generation module and shared among cores in a multi-core platform.

In an example, the computation parameters are classified by the model parameter generation module to obtain model parameters.

Specifically, the computation parameters include data other than input data and output data during a machine learning operation. Optionally, the classification processing includes processing of input data and output data required for machine learning, such as a preprocessing operation or a post-processing operation. Optionally, in machine learning, the classification processing also includes obtaining data or parameters, such as hardware platform information, required when performing a machine learning operation on input data. It can be understood that the classification processing is not limited to the preprocessing operation, the post-processing operation, or obtaining the hardware platform information. Other non-machine-learning operations performed on input data and output data also belong to the classification processing. Through the classification processing, different operations required for different computations of different input data on different hardware platforms become compatible. The classification processing can be modified and supplemented in practice to meet the application demand of the general-purpose machine learning model in different scenarios.

In an example, referring to FIG. 3, the computation parameters are classified by the model parameter generation module 132100 to obtain the model parameters. In an example, the step of aggregating the task instructions and the model parameters according to data types to obtain the stack data and the heap data includes: classifying the model parameters according to the data types to obtain model parameter stack data and model parameter heap data. In an optional example, the computation parameters are classified by the model parameter generation module 132100 to obtain model parameter stack data and model parameter heap data. Specifically, the model parameter stack data refers to model parameters that cannot be shared among cores in a multi-core platform, and the model parameter heap data refers to model parameters that can be shared among cores in a multi-core platform. Specifically, the model parameter stack data is obtained by the model parameter stack data generation module, and the model parameter heap data is obtained by the model parameter heap data generation module.

The step of classifying the computation parameters to obtain the model parameters includes preprocessing the computation parameters to obtain preprocessed model data. In an example, the computation parameters are preprocessed by a preprocessing module 132121. In an example, the preprocessing operation performed on the computation parameters includes performing a format conversion operation, a splitting operation, and a classification operation on the computation parameters. Optionally, the preprocessing operation is not limited to the format conversion operation, the splitting operation, and the classification operation, and all other operations performed on the computation parameters belong to the preprocessing operation.

In an example, the step of classifying the computation parameters to obtain the model parameters includes obtaining hardware parameters according to the computation parameters. In an optional example, a hardware parameter generation module 132122 is configured to generate hardware parameters. In an example, the hardware parameters include fixed index parameters of a hardware device, such as a model, the number of cuda cores, the size of a private cache, a size of a shared cache, and an access bandwidth of a GPU.

In an example, the step of classifying the computation parameters to obtain the model parameters includes extracting data attribute parameters from the computation parameters. In an optional example, an attribute parameter extraction module 132123 is configured to extract data attribute parameters in the computation parameters. In an example, the step of obtaining hardware parameters according to the computation parameters includes: obtaining hardware platform information and hardware configuration parameters, and storing the hardware platform information and the hardware configuration parameters as heap data. In an example, the attribute parameters include some unique characteristics of data. For instance, when the input data is an image, the attribute parameters include an image size, a count of channels, a storage space occupied by the image, a storage format, a data type of each pixel, etc.

In an example, the step of extracting data attribute parameters in the computation parameters by the attribute extraction module 132123 includes:

obtaining input data attributes, output data attributes, and intermediate result temporary space attributes of the computation parameters; extracting a data amount of the input data from the attributes of the input data, and allocating the input data storage space; extracting a data amount of the output data from the attributes of the output data, and allocating the output data storage space; extracting a data amount of the intermediate result temporary space from the attributes of the intermediate result temporary space, and allocating the intermediate result temporary storage space; and storing the input data storage space and the output data storage space as heap data, and storing the intermediate result temporary space as stack data.

In an example, the step of classifying the model parameters according to the data types to obtain the model parameter stack data includes: classifying the model parameters according to shared attributes to obtain shareable model parameters and unshareable model parameters; and aggregating the unshareable model parameters to obtain the model parameter stack data. In an example, the model parameter stack data is generated by a model parameter stack data generation module 132110. In an example, the step of aggregating the task instructions and model parameters according to the data types to obtain stack data and heap data includes: aggregating the model parameter stack data to obtain the stack data. In an example, the stack data is aggregated by a stack data aggregator 133100. By aggregating the stack data, the unshareable data can be processed uniformly to pattern the stack data in the machine learning model, so as to make the generated machine learning model universal.

In an example, the step of packaging and integrating the model parameter stack data according to layout information of the stack data to obtain the stack data blocks further includes: integrating the unshareable model parameters and the intermediate result temporary space data according to the layout information of the stack data to obtain the stack data blocks.

In an example, the step of classifying the model parameters according to data types to obtain model parameter heap data includes: classifying the model parameters according to shared attributes to obtain shareable model parameters and unshareable model parameters; and aggregating the shareable model parameters to obtain the model parameter heap data. In an example, the model parameter heap data is obtained by a model parameter heap data generation module 132120 performing the above steps. By aggregating the heap data, the shareable data can be processed uniformly to pattern the heap data in the machine learning model, so as to make the generated machine learning model universal.

In an example, the model parameter heap data includes model parameter static data and model parameter dynamic data. Specifically, the model parameter static data refers to data that does not change during running of a machine learning algorithm, such as task instructions, model parameter heap data, and hardware platform information. The model parameter dynamic data refers to data that changes during the running of a machine learning algorithm, such as input data and output data.

In an example, the step of integrating the stack data and the heap data to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model includes: packaging and integrating the task instruction heap data and the model parameter static data by using a static data aggregator 133210 to obtain successive static data blocks. In an example, the task instruction heap data, model parameter heap data, hardware platform information, and hardware configuration parameters are integrated according to the static data layout information to obtain the successive static data blocks.

By aggregating the static data blocks, data of the static data blocks can be processed uniformly to pattern the static data in the machine learning model, so as to make the generated machine learning model universal.

In an example, the step of integrating the stack data and the heap data to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model includes: packaging and integrating the model parameter dynamic data by using a dynamic data aggregator 133220 to obtain successive dynamic data blocks. In an example, the input data storage space and the output data storage space are integrated according to the layout information of the dynamic data to obtain the successive dynamic data blocks. By aggregating the dynamic data blocks, data of the dynamic data blocks can be processed uniformly to pattern the dynamic data in the machine learning model, so as to make the generated machine learning model universal.

In an example, the successive static data blocks, the successive dynamic data blocks, and the stack data blocks are combined to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model. In an optional example, the general-purpose machine learning model is stored in an offline file. Specifically, the offline file includes one or more general-purpose machine learning models. Specifically, a general-purpose machine learning model in an offline file is called according to a preset rule. Specifically, the offline file is stored in a hard disk according to an established rule. In an optional example, the offline file includes an online function. Specifically, the online function is stored in memory.

In an example, the step of combining the successive static data blocks, the successive dynamic data blocks, and the stack data blocks to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model includes: obtaining layout information of static data, layout information of dynamic data, and layout information of stack data according to the task instructions; packaging and integrating the task instruction heap data and the model parameter static data according to the layout information of the static data to obtain the successive static data blocks; packaging and integrating the model parameter dynamic data according to the layout information of the dynamic data to obtain the successive dynamic data blocks; packaging and integrating the model parameter stack data according to the layout information of the stack data to obtain the stack data blocks; and integrating the successive static data blocks, the successive dynamic data blocks, and the stack data blocks.

In an example, algorithm control parameters are compiled to obtain layout information of each data block. Specifically, layout information of data blocks is used for data block aggregation and integration, and each data block is stored according to the layout information of each data block to optimize memory allocation. In an optional example, the layout information of data blocks is used for prior storage of each data block in a whole block. In an optional example, when the storage space cannot satisfy the storage of a data block in a whole block, the memory allocation is optimized according to a processing order of a processor core, so as to facilitate the reading of data block information.

In an example, the method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model further includes generating a hardware-specific parameter set. Specifically, the hardware-specific parameter set refers to preparing related parameters in advance to make up for a shortage of hardware and satisfy operation needs of different machine learning algorithms.

The above device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model is compatible with operation processes of various machine learning algorithms by classifying the task parameters, and can obtain a general model of a corresponding machine learning algorithm through aggregation and integration. The general model of the machine learning algorithm enables a compilation result of the corresponding general model to be directly executed during the operation of the algorithm. Therefore, repeated compilations can be avoided, which may greatly improve the efficiency of the implementation of a machine learning algorithm and shorten time spent in a process from compiling to obtaining execution results.

In an example, the task parameters include algorithm control parameters and computation parameters; the classification processing module 132000 includes: a task instruction generation module 132200 configured to compile the algorithm control parameters to obtain task instructions, and a model parameter generation module 132110 configured to classify the computation parameters to obtain model parameters.

The each module can be embedded in the form of hardware in a processor, or be independent of a processor in a computer device, or be stored in the form of software in a memory of a computer device, so as to make it easier for the processor to call a module and perform an operation corresponding to the module.

In an example, referring to FIG. 4, a method for executing a general-purpose machine learning model is provided. In an example, the method for executing a general-purpose machine learning model includes:

a step S1410, obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model;

Specifically, the general-purpose machine learning model refers to a general-purpose machine learning model generated based on the above method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model. Specific descriptions of the method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model will not be described further herein. For details, please refer to the above descriptions.

The method for executing a general-purpose machine learning model further includes: a step S1420, classifying and disassembling the general-purpose machine learning model to obtain stack area data and heap area data.

Specifically, the classifying and disassembling operation is performed according to different data types. Specifically, the stack data refers to data that cannot be shared among cores in a multi-core development platform, and the heap data refers to data that can be shared among cores in a multi-core development platform. In an example, the step S1420 of classifying and disassembling the general-purpose machine learning model to obtain the stack data and the heap data includes: a step S14210, disassembling shareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into the stack data; and a step S14220, disassembling unshareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into the heap data.

In an example, the method further includes allocating the stack data to a stack area. Specifically, the stack area refers to a storage space mainly used to store the stack data in the memory. Optionally, the data stored in the stack area also includes intermediate results generated during the machine learning operation.

In an example, the method further includes allocating the heap data to a heap area. Specifically, the heap area refers to a storage space mainly used to store the heap data in the memory. Optionally, the data stored in the heap area also includes intermediate results generated during the machine learning operation. Specifically, the heap area data includes data stored in the heap area, such as heap data and layout information of each heap data block.

The method for executing a general-purpose machine learning model further includes: a step S1430, computing according to input data, the stack area data, and the heap area data to obtain output data. Specifically, the computing process of the step S1430 is performed by a hardware computing unit. After the step S1403, a neural network processor controls the hardware computing unit to shut down. Specifically, the hardware computing unit is composed of an arithmetic logic unit, an accumulator, a status register, a general register group, and the like. Basic functions of the arithmetic logic operating unit include four fundamental operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; logical operations such as AND, OR, NOT, XOR; and operations such as shift and complement. It can be understood that the hardware computing unit can directly perform an operation by fetching the stack area data and the heap area data instead of waiting for the machine learning algorithm to be compiled. Therefore, through the general-purpose machine learning model, the operating efficiency of a machine learning algorithm can be improved.

In an example, the stack data includes model parameter stack data;

In an example, the step S14230 of allocating stack data to the stack area further includes:

a step S14231, obtaining a size of a space required for the model parameter stack data and a size of an intermediate result temporary storage space. Specifically, a storage address and a storage space are allocated for the model parameter stack data and the intermediate result temporary storage space according to the size of the space required for the model parameter stack data and the size of the intermediate result temporary storage space.

The step S14230 of allocating stack data to the stack area further includes:

a step S14232, computing a sum of the size of the storage space required for the model parameter stack data and the size of the intermediate result temporary storage space to obtain a size of a first storage space. It can be understood that the model parameter stack data produces intermediate results during the machine learning operation. Therefore, the sum of the size of the storage space required for the model parameter stack data and the size of the intermediate result temporary storage space is a minimum storage space allocated to the model parameter stack area by the memory

In an example, a step S14233 includes: allocating a storage space of the model parameter stack area, where the size of the storage space of the model parameter stack area is greater than or equal to the size of the first storage space. Specifically, the model parameter stack area refers to a storage area mainly used to store the model parameter stack data.

In an example, the heap data that is changed during the operation phase is stored as model parameter dynamic heap data, and the heap data that is not changed during the operation phase is stored as model parameter static heap data. Specific descriptions of the model parameter stack data and the model parameter heap data will not be described further herein. For details, please refer to related content in the above method for generating a general model.

In an example, the step S14240 of allocating the heap data to the heap area further includes: a step S14241, obtaining a size of a storage space required to obtain model parameter dynamic data; a step S14242, allocating the model parameter dynamic data to a model parameter dynamic heap area; and a step S14243, allocating the model parameter static data to the model parameter static heap area.

In an example, the step S14242 of allocating the model parameter dynamic data to a dynamic data heap area further includes:

a step S142421, adding the storage space of the model parameter dynamic data, a storage space of input data, and a storage space of output data to obtain a size of a second storage space; and

a step S142422, allocating the storage space of the model parameter dynamic heap area, where the storage space of the model parameter dynamic heap area is greater than or equal to the size of the second storage space. The step S142422 enables the storage space to be more expandable when normal operations are guaranteed.

In an example, the step S14240 of allocating the heap data to a heap area to obtain heap area data further includes:

allocating the model parameter dynamic heap area and the model parameter static heap area to a section of continuous storage space to obtain a heap area with continuous storage space. In an example, data in the heap area includes the model parameter dynamic data, the model parameter static data, the input data, and the output data.

In an example, the model parameter static data includes task instruction heap data. Specifically, the task instruction heap data refers to task instruction data that can be shared among cores.

In an example, the storage space of the model parameter static heap area is greater than or equal to the storage space of the model parameter static heap data. Specifically, the storage space of the model parameter static heap area is greater than or equal to the size of the storage space required for the model parameter static data. This example enables the model parameter static heap area to be more expandable when normal operations are guaranteed.

In an example, the step of computing according to input data, the stack area data, and the heap area data to obtain output data further includes: after computing the input data, shutting down a hardware computing unit. Specifically, shutting down the hardware computing unit may help reduce occupation of computer resources during the process of machine learning operation.

In an example, the step of computing according to the input data, the stack area data, and the heap area data to obtain output data further includes: extracting the output data in the heap area; transferring the output data to the outside of a development platform. In an example, input data and output data are stored in the heap area. It can be understood that the input data and the output data are stored in the model parameter dynamic heap area.

In an example, referring to FIG. 5 together, a device for executing a general-purpose machine learning model is provided. The device includes:

In an example, the stack data includes model parameter stack data. In an example, a model parameter stack data allocating module includes: a first storage space computing module configured to compute a sum of a size of a storage space required for the model parameter stack data and a size of an intermediate result temporary storage space to obtain a size of a first storage space; a model parameter stack data allocating module configured to allocate a storage space of the model parameter stack area, where the storage space of the model parameter stack area is greater than or equal to the size of the second storage space.

In an example, the stack area data includes stack data, and the heap area data includes heap data. The model disassembling module 15200 includes:

a stack area data allocating module 15310 configured to disassemble unshareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into stack data; a heap area data allocating module 15320 configured to disassemble shareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into heap data. In an example, the stack area data allocating module 15310 is further configured to allocate the stack data to the stack area. In an example, the heap area data allocating module 15320 is further configured to allocate the heap data to the heap area.

In an example, the stack data includes model parameter stack data; and the stack data allocating module is further configured to allocate the model parameter stack data to the model parameter stack area.

In an example, the result outputting module 15400 further includes:

a data extraction module 15410 configured to extract the output data from the heap area; and

a data outputting module 15420 configured to output the output data. Specific limitations on the device for executing a general-purpose machine learning model will not be described further herein. For details, please refer to the limitations on the method for executing a general-purpose machine learning model. Each module in the device for executing a general-purpose machine learning model may be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware, and a combination of software and hardware. The each module can be embedded in the form of hardware in a processor, or be independent of a processor in a computer device, or be stored in the form of software in a memory of a computer device, so as to facilitate the processor to call a module and perform an operation corresponding to the module.

In an example, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 together, FIG. 6 provides a schematic diagram of a feature extraction process for an image in a jpg format by using a two-layer neural network. In an example, a feature extraction method for an image by using a two-layer neural network includes:

a step S16100, performing an input preprocessing operation on an input image to obtain a processed input image.

In an example, an attribute extraction module 132123 extracts attribute information of the input image, such as a size, a data format, and a compression format information of the input image, and transmits extracted attribute information to a preprocessing layer. Specifically, an input preprocessing layer 6100 restores a jpg compressed image to an uncompressed original image according to the attribute information of the input image, and assigns values to each data point to facilitate processing of the image by a convolution layer 16200.

The feature extraction method for an image by using a two-layer neural network includes: a step S16200, performing a convolution operation on the processed input image to obtain a convolution operation result.

In an example, the convolution layer 16200 performs feature extraction on image information. The general-purpose machine learning model generates corresponding task instructions according to hardware information of a machine learning algorithm running platform shown in FIG. 6. When corresponding hardware of the machine learning algorithm running platform is started, the task instructions control the hardware to obtain input data and weight data step by step for the convolution operation until the operation is completed and an intermediate result is obtained. Specifically, the weight data refers to trained data in a general-purpose machine learning model. In an example, attributes of an intermediate result temporary space include attributes of the intermediate result, such as a size of the feature map and a size of the storage space occupied. Specifically, an appropriate storage space is requested for the intermediate result according to the attributes of the temporary result temporary space.

The feature extraction method for a picture by using a two-layer neural network further includes: a step S16300, activating the convolution operation result to obtain an activation result.

In an example, an activation layer 16300 selects a sigmoid activation function and maps the convolution result to a range between 0 and 1. Specifically, the general-purpose machine learning model has generated corresponding task instructions according to the hardware information of the machine learning algorithm running platform shown in FIG. 6. After the hardware of the machine learning algorithm running platform is started, the task instructions control the corresponding hardware to obtain input data and weight data step by step for the activation operation. In an example, the machine learning algorithm running platform used for performing image recognition in the example lacks a divider while the sigmoid function includes a division operation, thus corresponding parameters are extracted from a hardware-specific parameter set. In an example, reciprocals which requires divisors are prepared in the hardware parameter set in advance.

In an example, when the activation layer 16300 performs the activation operation, the task instructions control the hardware to obtain data for the activation operation, and to obtain parameter data in the hardware-specific parameter set. In an example, the task instructions control the hardware to perform the convolution operation until the convolution operation is completed and output data is obtained.

The feature extraction method for a picture by using a two-layer neural network further includes: a step S16400, performing output preprocessing on the activation result to obtain a final image.

In an example, an output preprocessing layer 16400 performs an output preprocessing operation on output data according to a preset storage format of the image. In an example, an output image is preset to be stored in a jpg format, then the output preprocessing layer 16400 processes the size, the compression format, the data format, and the like of the output image according to the preset format of the output image to obtain the final image.

It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 are sequentially displayed as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed sequentially in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated in this document, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited, and these steps can be performed in other orders. Moreover, at least some of the steps in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily performed sequentially, but may be performed in turn or alternately with at least a part of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

In an example, a computer device is provided. The computer device may be a server, an internal structure of which may be as shown in FIG. 7. The computer device includes a processor, a memory, a network interface, and a database connected by a system bus. The processor of the computer device is used to provide computation and control capabilities. The memory of the computer device includes a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory. The non-volatile storage medium stores an operating system, a computer program, and a database. The internal memory provides an environment for operations of the operating system and the computer program stored in the non-volatile storage medium. The database of the computer device is used to store general-purpose machine learning model data. The network interface of the computer device is used to communicate with external terminals through a network connection. When the computer program is executed by the processor, a general-purpose machine learning model generation method and/or a general-purpose machine learning model execution method are implemented.

The method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file provided in the present disclosure can be applied to the application environment as shown in FIG. 1. The method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model provided in the present disclosure can be applied to an application environment as shown in FIG. 8. The application environment as shown in FIG. 8 is a machine learning development platform, which includes a framework layer 2101, a compilation layer 2102, an aggregation layer 2103, a driver layer 2104, and a hardware layer 2105.

In an example, the framework layer 2101 is configured to provide algorithm design conditions of a machine learning task, and provide convenient training and prediction tools to facilitate users to build their own neural network structures. It can be understood that the framework layer 2101 is configured to: receive user-designed machine learning algorithms (such as neural network structures); parse out parameters of each sub-task, and send the parameters of each sub-task to the compilation layer to generate machine instructions and related necessary elements; and send the machine instructions and the related necessary elements to a runtime layer for computations, and finally complete a machine learning task required by users.

In an example, the compilation layer 2102 is configured to generate machine instructions in a machine learning task. Specifically, the compilation layer includes a compiler, a high-performance programming library specially optimized for high-frequency operators, and other modules, devices, and databases capable of generating machine instructions. It can be understood that the compilation layer 1102 is configured to receive parameters of the machine learning task sent by the upper framework layer 2101, generate binary machine instructions of hardware by compiling, and send the binary machine instructions of hardware to the lower runtime layer for storing or computing.

In an example, the aggregation layer 2103 is configured to further encapsulate driver programs, and can ignore differences between different underlying hardware and drivers to provide a unified program interface to the upper compilation layer 2102 or users. Specifically, the aggregation layer 2103 can encapsulate upper layer software without considering details of the hardware and the drivers. Furthermore, the aggregation layer 2103 is configured to provide a program interface for basic operations of a machine learning task, store and load a machine learning model and necessary elements such as machine instructions required for execution of the machine learning model on hardware. In this case, upper layer software and users only need to focus on the machine learning task rather than consider differences in specific hardware. Optionally, the program interfaces for the basic operations of the machine learning task provided by the aggregation layer may include program interface for memory space allocation, data copy, computation starting, and other basic operations of the machine learning task.

In an example, the driver layer 2104 is configured to package and encapsulate basic operations of a device of the hardware layer 2105, and provide a callable program interface for the upper aggregation layer 2103. Specifically, the basic operations of the driver layer 2104 include controlling input and output of data streams, sending control signals to hardware, receiving and processing abnormal signals generated by the hardware, managing and scheduling multiple tasks, and the like.

In an example, the hardware layer 2105 includes all hardware facilities in the machine learning development platform. Optionally, the hardware layer 2105 includes a primary processor, a coprocessor, a memory, an input/output device, a power supply module, and connecting equipment of the above facilities. It can be understood that the hardware layer 2105 is not limited to the above facilities.

In an example, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, a method and a device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model are provided. In an example, a step S2201 includes obtaining task parameters of a machine learning task. In an example, the task parameters of the machine learning task are obtained through an external interface module 131000. Specifically, the task parameters refer to parameters required to generate a general-purpose machine learning model, and include parameters other than input data and output data. Specifically, the task parameters are obtained from an external program's input, or from a user's input. It can be understood that when the task parameters are obtained from the user's input, the task parameters are generated after the format of the user's input data is converted. In an example, a step S2202 includes classifying the task parameters to obtain task instructions and model parameters. In an example, the model parameters are obtained by a model parameter generation module 232100, and the task instructions are obtained by a task instruction generation module 232200. Specifically, the task instructions refer to compiled task parameters, and the model parameters refer to processing results of other processing of the task parameters required during operation of a machine learning algorithm.

In an example, a step S2203 includes aggregating the task instructions and the model parameters according to data types to generate stack data and heap data. In an example, unshareable data is aggregated by a stack data aggregator 233100, and shareable data is aggregated by a heap data aggregator 233200. It can be understood that unshareable data refers to data that is not shared among cores in a multi-core platform; and shareable data refers to data shared among cores in a multi-core platform. Specifically, aggregating refers to packing and arranging task instructions and model parameters. In an example, a step S2204 includes integrating the stack data and the heap data to obtain a general-purpose machine learning model.

In an example, referring to FIG. 11 together, a method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file includes:

a step S2402, obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model, where the general-purpose machine learning model may be a general-purpose machine learning model generated through the steps S2201 to S2204, and may also be another model file;

a step S2404, calculating a storage offset of the general-purpose machine learning model, where there may be one or more general-purpose machine learning models; in an example, when there are a plurality of general-purpose machine learning models, the step S2404 includes calculating the storage offset of each general-purpose machine learning model;

a step S2406: generating a model directory according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the storage offset of the general-purpose machine learning model, where the model directory refers to a record of storage locations of all models in the general-purpose machine learning model file, and through the model directory, a target model can be quickly located; and

a step S2408, generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory. The general-purpose machine learning model file in this example not only includes a general-purpose machine learning model itself, but also includes a model directory, so that when a general-purpose machine learning model in the general-purpose machine learning model file is called, a corresponding model can be quickly located and read.

In the above method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file, a general-purpose machine learning model file is generated by generating a directory of obtained general-purpose machine models, and generating the general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory. Therefore, in a process of machine learning operation, a corresponding general model in a general-purpose machine learning model file can be directly read according to operation needs. Therefore, repeated compilations can be avoided, which may greatly improve the efficiency of the implementation of a machine learning algorithm and shorten time spent in a process from compiling to obtaining execution results.

In an example, referring to FIG. 12 together, the step S2404 of calculating the storage offset of the general-purpose machine learning model includes:

a step S24041, obtaining a size of a storage space occupied by each general-purpose machine learning model and a count of the general-purpose machine learning models, where in an example, a size of a storage space to be occupied by a general-purpose machine learning model file is generated according to the size of the storage space occupied by each general-purpose machine learning model and the count of the general-purpose machine learning models;

a step S24042, obtaining a storage order of the general-purpose machine learning models. Specifically, the storage order of the general-purpose machine learning models may follow a preset rule, or may be randomly generated. Specifically, after the storage order of the general-purpose machine learning models is determined, the general-purpose machine learning models are stored according to a determined storage order.

The step S2404 of calculating the storage offset of the general-purpose machine learning model further includes: a step S24043, calculating a storage offset of each general-purpose machine learning model according to the storage space occupied by each general-purpose machine learning model, the count of the general-purpose machine learning models, and the storage order of the general-purpose machine learning models. The storage offset refers to a relative location of each general-purpose machine learning model in the general-purpose machine learning model file. For instance, a model A, a model B, and a model C are stored in an order from a file header to a file tailer. The size of the model A is 2 bits, the size of the model B is 3 bits, and the size of the model C is 1 bit, then the offset of the model A is 0, the offset of the model B is 2 bits, and the offset of the model C is 2+3=5 bits.

In an example, referring to FIG. 13 together, the step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory includes:

a step S2408 a, obtaining a file header and a file tailer of the general-purpose machine learning model file; and

a step S2408 b, generating the general-purpose machine learning model file according to the file header, the model directory, the general-purpose machine learning model, and the file tailer. The file header refers to a piece of data for performing a certain task and is located at a beginning of the general-purpose machine learning model file, and the file tailer refers to a piece of data for performing a certain task and is located at an end of the general-purpose machine learning model file.

In another example, referring to FIG. 14 together, the step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory includes:

a step S2408 c, creating an identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file refers to a character attached to the general-purpose machine learning model file for identification. Different general-purpose machine learning model files can be distinguished by the identification code of the file, so as to facilitate accurately obtaining of corresponding general-purpose machine learning model files.

The step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory further includes: a step S2408 d, generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the identification code, the general-purpose machine learning model, and the model directory. In an example, the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file is stored in the file header.

In yet another example, referring to FIG. 15 together, the step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory includes:

a step S2408 e, creating a check code and/or an error correction code of the general-purpose machine learning model file. The check code is obtained from an operation in a general-purpose machine learning model file to verify whether the general-purpose machine learning model file is correct. In an example, the check code is located in a last bit in a general-purpose machine learning model file. The error correction code refers to a string of characters which are located in a file receiving end and can detect and correct errors that occur during transmission of the general-purpose machine learning model file.

Through the steps of the example, security and stability of the general-purpose machine learning model file receiving may be increased. When a transmission error occurs during the transmission process, the error can be found in time through the check code, and then be corrected through the error correction code, which may increase stability and fault tolerance of data and prevent consequential errors in subsequent processes due to receiving errors.

The step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory further includes: a step S2408 f, generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the check code and/or the error correction code of the general-purpose machine learning model file, the general-purpose machine learning model, and the model directory. In an example, the check code and/or the error correction code are stored at the file tailer in the general-purpose machine learning model.

In an example, referring to FIG. 16 together, the step S2408 of generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the general-purpose machine learning model and the model directory further includes:

a step S24081, calculating a size of a storage space required for the general-purpose machine learning model file.

In an example, the general-purpose machine learning model file includes one or more general-purpose machine learning models. In another example, the general-purpose machine learning model file further includes a file header, a file tail, and a model directory. Optionally, the general-purpose machine learning file may further include a size of a storage space of the model directory and a sum of sizes of storage spaces of the plurality of general-purpose machine learning models. Optionally, the general-purpose machine learning file may further include a size of a storage space of the file header, a size of a storage space of the file tail, the size of the storage space of the model directory, and the sum of the sizes of the storage space of the plurality of the general-purpose machine learning models.

In an example, the general-purpose machine learning model file, the model directory, and the general-purpose machine learning model are sequentially stored from the file head to the file tail.

In an example, referring to FIG. 17 together, another method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model is provided. The method includes: a step S2501, obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model; a step S2502, performing storage optimization on the general-purpose machine learning model to generate a secondary model; a step S2503, calculating a storage offset of the secondary model; a step S2504, generating a secondary model directory according to the secondary model and the storage offset of the secondary model; and a step S2505, generating a general-purpose machine learning model file according to the secondary model and the secondary model directory.

The execution process of the step S2501 is the same as that of the step S2402 in the above example, thus details of the S2501 will not be described further herein. In addition, a difference between the step S2503 and the step S2404, the step S2504 and the step S2406, and the step S2505 and the step S2408 is an execution object. The execution object of the step S2503, the step S2504, and the step S2505 is the secondary model, while the execution object of the step S2404, the step S2406, and the step of S2408 is the general-purpose machine learning model. The execution process of the corresponding steps in the two examples is the same, and details will not be described further herein.

Through the methods of the steps S2501 to S2505, an original generated general-purpose machine learning model is optimized to facilitate storage and transmission of a general-purpose machine learning model file, which increases security and stability in the transmission process.

In an example, the step S2502 of performing storage optimization on the general-purpose machine learning model to generate a secondary model includes: compress the general-purpose machine learning model to generate a secondary model. In the example, compressing the general-purpose machine learning model may facilitate the general-purpose machine learning model to be stored in the general-purpose machine learning model file, then a corresponding general-purpose machine learning model may be quickly obtained when the corresponding general-purpose machine learning model needs to be executed.

In another example, the step S2502 of performing storage optimization on the general-purpose machine learning model to generate a secondary model further includes: encrypt the general-purpose machine learning model to generate a secondary model. In the example, by encrypting the general-purpose machine learning model, security of the general-purpose machine learning model during storage and transmission can be increased.

The device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file generation device is configured to convert a general-purpose machine learning model generated in the device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model into a general-purpose machine learning model file.

Specific limitations on the device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file will not be described further herein. For details, please refer to the limitations on the method for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file. Each module in the device for generating a general-purpose machine learning model file may be implemented in whole or in part by software, hardware, and a combination of software and hardware. The each module can be embedded in the form of hardware in a processor, or be independent of a processor in a computer device, or be stored in the form of software in a memory of a computer device, so as to facilitate the processor to call a module and perform an operation corresponding to the module.

In an example, referring to FIG. 21 together, a method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file is provided. The method includes:

a step S2701, obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file, where the general-purpose machine learning model file includes a model file generated through the step S2402 to the step S2408. Further, the general-purpose machine learning model in the general-purpose machine learning file includes the general-purpose machine learning model generated through the step S2201 to the step S2204.

The method further includes:

a step S2702, reading a model directory in the general-purpose machine learning model file, where the model directory includes the model directory generated through the step S2406; and

a step S2703, reading a target general-purpose machine learning model according to the model directory. The target general-purpose machine learning model refers to a general-purpose machine learning model to be extracted from the general-purpose machine learning model file. The target general-purpose machine learning model may be determined according to users' operation instructions or needs of task execution.

In an example, referring to FIG. 15 together, the step S2701 of obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file includes:

a step S27011, obtain an identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file may be located at a file header of the general-purpose machine learning model file, so as to facilitate identification for the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file refers to a character attached to the general-purpose machine learning model file for identification. Different general-purpose machine learning model files can be distinguished by the identification code of the file, so as to facilitate accurately obtaining of corresponding general-purpose machine learning model files. Further, the identification code may be an identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file created through the step S408 c.

The step S2701 of obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes: a step S27012, detecting whether the identification code complies with a preset rule. In an example, the preset rule refers to description information of the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file obtained before reading a corresponding general-purpose machine learning model file. Further, after the general-purpose machine learning model file is obtained, the step includes detecting whether the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file matches the description information. If the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file matches the description information, the identification code is determined to satisfy the preset rule; and if the identification code of the general-purpose machine learning model file does not match the description information, the identification code is determined not to satisfy the preset rule.

The step S2701 of obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes: a step S27013, if the identification code satisfies the preset rule, reading a model directory in the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, if the identification code complies with the preset rule, it can be determined that no error occurs during transmission of the general-purpose machine learning model file.

In another example, if the identification code does not satisfy the preset rule, the obtained general-purpose machine learning model file is inconsistent with a general-purpose machine learning model file to be read. Specifically, if the identification code does not satisfy the preset rule, it is determined that an error occurs in the general-purpose machine learning model file that is read, then the method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file is stopped.

In an example, referring to FIG. 23 together, the step S2701 of obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file includes:

a step S27014, obtaining a check code of the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, if the identification code is valid, an obtained general-purpose machine learning model file is correct, then the check code of the obtained general-purpose machine learning model file is further checked to determine whether content of the general-purpose machine learning model file is correct.

The step S2701 of obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes: a step S27015, checking whether the check code is consistent with a preset standard code, and if the check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, performing an error correction operation. The preset standard code is consistent with the check code when the content of the general-purpose machine learning model file is correct. Further, if the obtained check code is consistent with the preset standard code, it can be determined that the content of the general-purpose machine learning model file is correct; otherwise, if the obtained check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, it can be determined that the content of the general-purpose machine learning model file is incorrect. Optionally, if the general-purpose machine learning model file is incorrect, a cause of errors may be that an original file is incorrect, or that an original file is correct but an error occurs during transmission.

In an example, referring to FIG. 24 together, the step S27015 of checking whether the check code is consistent with a preset standard code, and if the check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, performing an error correction operation includes:

a step S27015 a, obtaining an error correction code, where the error correction code may be an error correction code obtained through the step S2408 e. Specifically, an error code refers to a string of characters which are located in a file receiving end, and can detect and correct errors that occur during transmission of the general-purpose machine learning model file.

The step S27015 further includes: a step S27015 b, performing the error correction operation on the general-purpose machine learning model file according to the error correction code to obtain an error-corrected model file. Specifically, when the file check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, after it is determined that an error occurs in content of the general-purpose machine learning model file, the error correction operation is performed on the general-purpose machine learning model according to the error correction code of the file. Specifically, the error correction code may be located at a file tailer of the general-purpose machine learning model file.

The step S27015 of checking whether the check code is consistent with a preset standard code, and if the check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, performing an error correction operation further includes: a step S27015 c, checking whether a check code of the error-corrected model file is consistent with the preset standard code. Specifically, the step includes: after the error correction operation is completed, rechecking whether the check code of the error-corrected model file is consistent with the preset standard code to check an error correction effect.

The step S27015 further includes: a step S27015 d, if the check code of the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model file is consistent with the preset standard code, reading a model directory in the general-purpose machine learning model file. It can be understood that if the check code of the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model file is consistent with the preset standard code, it can be determined that the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model is correct.

In another example, the method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes: if the check code of the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model file is inconsistent with the preset standard code, the execution of the method is stopped. It can be understood that if the check code of the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model file is still inconsistent with the preset standard code, it can be determined that the error correction operation fails, and the error-corrected general-purpose machine learning model is still incorrect.

In an example, referring to FIG. 25 together, the step S2703 of reading a target general-purpose machine learning model according to the model directory includes:

a step S27031, obtaining a storage offset of the target general-purpose machine learning model in the general-purpose machine learning model file. The storage offset refers to a relative location of each general-purpose machine learning model in the general-purpose machine learning model file. For instance, a model A, a model B, and a model C are stored in an order from a file header to a file tailer. The size of the model A is 2 bits, the size of the model B is 3 bits, and the size of the model C is 1 bit, then the offset of the model A is 0, the offset of the model B is 2 bits, and the offset of the model C is 2+3=5 bits.

The step S2703 of reading a target general-purpose machine learning model according to the model directory further includes: a step S27032, reading the target general-purpose machine learning model according to the storage offset. In an example, a location of a target general-purpose machine learning model in a target general-purpose machine learning model file is obtained according to the storage offset, and further, the target general-purpose machine learning model is read according to the location of the target general-purpose machine learning model file.

In an example, referring to FIG. 26 together, a method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file is provided. The method includes:

a step S2801, obtaining a general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, an execution process of the step S2801 is the same as that of the above step S2701, thus details of the step S2801 will not be described further herein.

The method further includes:

a step S2802, reading a secondary model directory from the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, in the example, a secondary model file is stored in the general-purpose machine learning model file. Specifically, a secondary model and the secondary model directory in the example can be generated through the steps S2501 to S2505.

The method further includes:

a step S2803, reading a target secondary model according to the secondary model directory. In an example, the step includes obtaining a storage offset of the target secondary model in the general-purpose machine learning model file; and reading the target secondary model according to the storage offset. The target secondary model refers to the general-purpose machine learning model to be extracted from the general-purpose machine learning model file.

The method further includes: a step S2804, restoring the target secondary model to obtain a target general-purpose machine learning model. Specifically, the secondary model is a general-purpose machine learning model that has been subjected to a storage optimization processing. In an example, the secondary model is restored according to an operation of the storage optimization processing. For instance, if an operation of the storage optimization processing is encryption, a corresponding restoring operation is to decrypt the secondary model; for another instance, if an operation of the storage optimization processing is compression, a corresponding restoring operation is to decompress the secondary model; and if operations of the storage optimization processing are encryption and compression, corresponding restoring operations are decryption and decompression.

In an example, referring to FIG. 27 together, the method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes:

a step S2901, reading hardware parameter information in the general-purpose machine learning model, where the hardware parameter information refers to hardware information required when a general-purpose machine learning model is performed; and

a step S2902, generating hardware matching information according to the hardware parameter information. Specifically, the step includes matching hardware that corresponds to the hardware parameter information in a device pool according to the hardware parameter information. In an example, the device pool may include devices in different hardware platforms. By matching the hardware parameter information in the device pool, the parsing process or the execution process of the general-purpose machine learning model may be implemented across platforms. For instance, according to the hardware parameter information, the implementation of a general-purpose machine learning model file requires a CPU and a GPU, while the platform only includes a CPU but no GPU, then another platform with a GPU needs to be looked for in the device pool. In this case, hardware equipment in different platforms in the device pool is connected to complete the execution of the general-purpose machine learning model.

In an example, referring to FIG. 22 together, the method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes:

a step S2903, classifying and disassembling the general-purpose machine learning model to obtain stack area data and heap area data. Specifically, the classifying and disassembling operation is performed according to different data types. Specifically, the stack data refers to data that cannot be shared among cores in a multi-core development platform, and the heap data refers to data that can be shared among cores in a multi-core development platform. In an example, the step S2903 of classifying and disassembling the general-purpose machine learning model to obtain stack data and heap data includes: a step S29031, disassembling shareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into the stack data; and a step S29031, disassembling unshareable data in the general-purpose machine learning model into the heap data.

The method for parsing a general-purpose machine learning model file further includes: a step S2904, computing according to input data, the stack area data, and the heap area data. In an example, the method further includes allocating the stack data to a stack area.

Specifically, the stack area refers to a storage space mainly used to store the stack data in the memory. Optionally, the data stored in the stack area also includes intermediate results generated during the machine learning operation. In an example, the method further includes allocating the heap data to a heap area; specifically, the heap area refers to a storage space mainly used to store the heap data in the memory. Optionally, the data stored in the heap area also includes intermediate results generated during the machine learning operation.

These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily performed sequentially, but may be performed in turn or alternately with at least a part of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

The file header checker is further configured to obtain a check code of the general-purpose machine learning model file, and check whether the check code is consistent with a preset standard code; if the check code is inconsistent with the preset standard code, an error correction operation is performed.

In an example, the file obtainer 2901 further includes a file tailer corrector 29012, where the file tailer corrector 29012 is configured to obtain an error correction code of the file tail, perform error correction on the general-purpose machine learning model file according to the error correction code to obtain an error-corrected model file, and check whether a check code of the error-corrected model file is consistent with a check code pre-generated by the preset standard code; if the check code of the error-corrected model file is consistent with the check code pre-generated by the preset standard code, the model directory is read in the general-purpose machine learning model file.
